 Show: The Interactive
Interview
Guest: Erin Murphy
Date: 12/5/08
Your Hosts: Patrick Kelley, Nick Noel, & James Walsh
It seems like such a short while ago that we were discussing the inception
of Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Now, just a few short months
and some bruised up celebrities later, CCW is ready to crown its first world
heavyweight champion!
One of our favorites from the show was Erin Murphy who happens to be our
guest this week. The "Mistress of Mayhem" was on the Epicenter newsmaker
line recently and did this exclusive interview discussing her time on CCW
and why she is still training at UPW. Plus, hear her respond to Frank Stallone's
less than favorable remarks towards her a few shows ago!
ERIN MURPHY
- Erin Murphy is welcomed to the show and she says she
never dreamed she'd ever do a wrestling related interview, but is glad to
be on the show.
- She got on Hulk Hogan's CCW show when she got a call from Jason Harvey
(from The Wonder Years) and was asked to join. She was told "It's like dancing
with the stars, only its wrestling" But she says that wrestling is much different
from dancing.
- Going into the show, she knew nothing about wrestling, snd she tried her
best and gave it her all to try and win the competition.
- When asked about why she was eliminated early, she says that she got along
very well with her team members. She says that people were proud of her when
she asked to do more, and she says the reason she tried to do more is that
when Nikki Ziering debuted her costume (which was her underwear)
- When she got taken off the show, her teammates were upset and they desperately
tried to get her back on the show.
- She knows that wrestling women are billed to be attractive, and she knows
that she was going to have a tough time competing with girls that posed for
Playboy (although Erin admits that she turned down Playboy once), and she
also felt that she didn't need to be in a G-String or anything like that.
She just wanted to prove that she could be the best wrestler.
- In response to Frank's comments towards on our show, she says that "our
teammates were ready for him to go home" and she says that he was dangerous
because he wouldn't pay attention.
- Erin feels that the guys who ran the show (Hogan, Bischoff, & Harvey)
have a great love for wrestling and wanted to put on a good show. She also
says that for the most part the celebrities took it seriously and were determined
to do the best they can.
- After leaving CCW, she actually did sign up with UPW to get some more training.
She says that she had a lot of fun doing this, and she wanted to keep it
up. Her kids really had a blast with her doing this as well.
- She says that if Hulk Hogan ever started up his own wrestling promotion,
and she says that if they ever tried to do anything again whether it be more
of CCW or a full time wrestling promotion, she'd definately like to.
- Erin was asked to do Celebrity Boxing, but turned it down because the point
of Boxing is to hurt people, but wrestling (if done right) the purpose is
to not hurt the people you're working with.
- She is big into charities, most notably the Autism research. She says that
one of her children has autism, so its an important issue for her, and she
likes to get involved in it.
- Frank Stallone comes up again, and Erin says that "I've never seen a boxer
thats a bigger wimp than Frank Stallone" saying that he didn't really want
to do much. In response to Stallone calling her clumsy. she says that she
was really bad the first day because, as she said before, she had never watched
wrestling before, and had no clue what it was all about.
- In order to get better, she went to her kids for advice on who to watch,
and she ended up getting the best knowledge from watching Trish Stratus and
Lita.
- When asked about the live crowd, she says that she loved the crowd. She
says they had alot of enthusiasm, and were really into it. When asked if
the CCW chants were put in, she says that it isn't true and the chants were
legit. When asked about Stallone's comments towards the crowd, she was surprised
that he said the negative things about them that he did.
- She liked having Rob Van Dam there to help bring in regular wrestling fans
and says he looked great.
- Erin then teases that she will definately be stepping into a ring again
someday.
- Once again going back to Stallone, she says that if you ask most of her
teammates, they would have said that Frank should have been the first one
gone. She also says that it had nothing to do with him not taking the big
jump and she sympathized with him saying that if he's afraid of heights,
then he shouldn't have to do it.
- When asked about other celebrities on the show, she says that Dustin Diamond
was great to work with because he always helped out the other teammates.
She also says that he was a great heel, and that the crowd booed him the
second he stepped into the arena. She says he's probably the best at doing
things like playing with the crowd.
- When asked about the Bonnaduce/Diamond fight, she says what happened was
that when they were cutting promos, Danny was ripping on Dustin's personal
life rather than Dustin's wrestling character, and that was where the friction
came in. When talking about her own character, she says that she was originally
asked to play "The MILF" but didn't feel comfortable having to explain that
to her kids, so she settled on The Mistress of Mayhem or "MOM"
- Even after she was eliminated from the show, she says that she kept at
the same pace as the others that are still on the show because in case she
was ever brought back, she wanted to make sure she was on the same level
as everyone else.
- Erin Murphy then thanks James for his comment saying that she was hotter
thank Nikki Ziering. Patrick then admits that he hasn't watched the show,
and she puts it over as an entertaining show and would love to do a season
2 if asked.
